Downloading text language files

Language files contain the language name (as it should be presented to a user for selection), an
indication of the preferred character input method, text string replacements for the built-in English text
strings, where each replacement string may contain up to 120 characters. Each has a unique index that
associates it with the corresponding built-in English string, an indication as to whether Chinese,
Japanese or Korean glyphs should be displayed for the Unicode "Unified Han" character codes, and a
Language Identification Tag for the language of the text contained in the file. A downloadable language
file may also contain a translation of the language name into any or all of the languages for which a
language file is included in the software distribution package. Language files must be stored in the
same location as the 46xxsettings.txt file.
You can download a new language file version only if the filename differs from the language file
previously downloaded. Alternately, you can remove the old language file using an empty SET
LANGUAGES command in the 46xxsettings file before downloading a language file with the same
filename.

Changing the signaling protocol

For enterprises requiring both H.323-based and SIP-based protocols, there are two ways to specify the
protocol to be used by all or specific deskphones:
1. As of Release 6.2, the SIG parameter can be set in DHCP Option 242 (Site-Specific Option
Number) or in the 46xxsettings.txt file. This setting will apply to all deskphones except those for
which SIG has been manually configured to a value of H.323 or SIP using the SIG Craft procedure.
2. The SIG parameter can be set on a per-phone basis using the
identifier Craft procedure.
Note:
The 9601 deskphone supports only the SIP signaling.
Note:

The GROUP parameter

You might have different communities of end users, all of which have the same model deskphone, but
which require different administered settings. For example, you might want to restrict Call Center
